((xD He had Blaze to take care of anyway.))

"Riight...Well, we should be going too." Demon said, nodding to Blaze.
"What? Um...why?" She hesitated, remembering the tension from earlier. "Um...Know what? Never mind. I have...things...to do too.." She took a step back before turning and taking off. Demon blinked.

"Well, that was easy..." He muttered before turning to Tweak. The younger guardian couldn't run as fast as Demon could. "...Are you okay with being carried?" He asked quickly. Tweak nodded hastily as he was probably going to get carried one way or the other. "Good." Demon said, scooping him up in his jaw by the back of the neck as gently as he could without dropping him.

Tweak was quiet as they took off at almost top-speed before the ever-irrational Demon realized he wasn't sure what direction he should be going. He slowed to a trot and set Tweak down. Tasting the air, he figured he had been going the right way at first, but had overshot the turn Clessidra had taken by a little ways. He could also scent Akujin.

"I knew he was going to follow her." Demon hissed quietly, beckoning for Tweak to follow him as he turned back around. Tweak hurried after him obiediantly. It didn't take him long to find the scent trail again. He trotted into the clearing, Tweak almost having to run to keep up. Demon glanced around. Clessidra seemed to be near by, but Akujin's scent trail ended abruptly, but for a sky guardian, Demon suppose that that wasn't so unusual. He stopped, glancing around in confusion and still tasting the air. Tweak caught his breath again before panting out a question.

"...D-Demon? W-Wh-why d-d-do you w-want to f-find her so bad?" He asked timidly. Demon glanced at him. "I-I mean..." He trailed off and his ears flattened. "Y-you d-don't want to...?" Demon's expression softened and he gently licked Tweak's ear.

"Kill her?" He suggested. Tweak nodded. Demon smiled and shook his head. "No, I just want to make sure she's okay. She hasn't done anything wrong, and she seems decent. It would bother me if an innocent guardian died and I could have stopped it." Tweak blinked.
"...Oh."

"...Also..." Demon started again mischievously. "I don't like that purple sky guardian, and any chance to possibly annoy him is a plus, right?" Tweak smiled. "You rest for a bit. You've earned it. I'll see if I can find her scent trail again."

((pff ....Blaze was alot easier to take care of than I'd thought. XD))

[Nyx]

(Lol xD)

It wasn't but a few minutes later that Clessidra suddenly appeared right where she had been before. She stumbled with a squeak before catching her balance and looking around. "Well.. This isn't the time or place I wanted to be..." she muttered to herself, then noticed the little orange kitten that had been following Demon. "O-oh! Um... Hello," she backed away as she quietly spoke. He saw me appear! No, wait, it's okay, he's just a kit.. But if he's here then the other one's got to be close by, I kind of doubt he'd leave him after what I saw in his past.. What if he saw me appear?! she asked herself mentally, looking around with a mixed look on her face between worry and nervousness. This was obviously the down side of being a guardian of time in this specific timezone. No one could know, or else it would become dangerous for the time guardian. And then there was the problem of 'having no place in time itself.'

(Messing with time is fun, no? Lol, I dunno. xD)

[sparklyevil]

((heheh. xD yes))

Tweak squealed at the sudden apparation.
"Um...." He took a step back. "Um...H-hi...." he murmured, calming down a little upon recognizing Clessidra. He lumped as the bushes rustling at the side of clearing. Demon hadn't gotten far before he'd heard Tweak yelp. He looked around. His ears perked when he saw Clessidra.

"Oh, Hello." He smiled. "Are you okay? He followed you, didn't he?"

[Nyx]

Clessidra flinched when the bushes rustled. When she saw it was Demon she couldn't help but take a step away. "H-hello.. Uh.. yeah.. How did you know?" she asked nervously. She felt like she shouldn't speak and just get away as soon as possible, but her curiosity got the best of her. She knew Akujin would follow because she knew who he was, even with the disguise, but she was pretty sure no one else knew. At least, not yet.

[sparklyevil]

Demon noticed her take a step back, and flattening one ear and smirked in confusion as he padded over to Tweak.
"Relax. I'm not going to hurt you or anything. I don't think that guy can be trusted. And he seemed to want to...well, I don't think he really wanted to talk all that badly. Anyway. I wanted to make sure you were okay." He said as Tweak came to sit between his front paws. He cocked his head at Clessidra.

[Nyx]

Clessidra didn't trust Demon all that much after what she had seen, and didn't really believe him when he said he wasn't going to hurt her. But she still replied, "Oh.. Well, thank you." She added a quick, I guess... to herself before continuing out loud, "B-but I'm fine. I don't think he wanted to harm me, but.. I suppose you were correct when you said he didn't want to talk..." She looked away as she finished the last sentence, but quickly went back to watching Demon as she fell quiet once again. She was trying to be truthful, but she also didn't want him to stick around too long, so tried to make it seem like she wasn't in any danger.

[sparklyevil]

Demon gave another confused smirk again.
"Well...What else could he have wanted? If he hurt you and I could have stopped it, I would have felt responsible, and I don't need that right now." He said rolling his eyes a little bit.

[Nyx]

Clessidra shuffled a bit, unsure what to say. After a moment she said, "W-well... Maybe he wanted something only I had..?" she ended it like a question, though. She tried not to give away her secret as she thought of an excuse, but that turned out to be rather hard for her.

[sparklyevil]

"Something you have...?" Demon stopped himself. "Actually, I feel like I'm prying. Have we even been introduced yet? I'm Demon, this is Tweak. Okay? Well start with that. Just your name."

[Nyx]

Clessidra inwardly sighed with relief, then replied quickly with, "Oh! My name is Clessidra." She seemed much more calm after introducing herself, for reasons unknown to either her or the two who had just been introduced to her. She took notice of this and started to become nervous simply because of it.

(Lol, she seems to be going in mental circles. xD)

[sparklyevil]

((Yay for circles! Personality cores are circles. :3))

Demon nodded. "Okay. Good. Um...Alright, next question, are you just naturally jumpy or did something startle you? I mean...Okay, I was trying to scare you at first, but I was just messing around. Is something else, like actually wrong?"

[blackheart]

((wants to throw day into this thread. ))

[Nyx]

(Lol! And- random Kat. xD)

Clessidra blinked, then made a face as she said, "Oh! Um... Well, yes. I-I mean no! I mean-- Uh.. N-nevermind. No-- er... Well... No, nothing's wrong. I-I just.. Um.... nevermind." As she finished she lowered her head and ears while keeping her eyes on Demon. That couldn't have been a worse answer, she thought to herself with disappointment and embarrassment.

[sparklyevil]

Demon looked confused for a moment before laughing.
"Heh. Okay, then. I'm going to say yes, then." He sat down. "So, do you have anything you want to ask me?"

[Nyx]

Clessidra blinked, then straightened up and gained a thoughtful look. She didn't want to accidentally ask about something she might have seen in her 'visions,' so she decided to shake her head in reply. "No... No, nothing comes to mind, really..." she said slowly. However, after another pause she said, "Well.. there is one thing... Why does that kit follow you? Um.. You don't have to answer if it's personal. Just curious." Although it was mostly curiosity, she probably wouldn't be curious at all if it weren't for what she had seen. Tweak was obviously a very skittish type, so why would he hang around a murderer like Demon? She found it hard to understand.
